HISTORY - GCSE Topics and Key Questions

GCSE Topics

This page contains all the key topics that GCSE History students will need to know ahead of their final exams. A good way to test your child’s knowledge is to ask them to talk for 60 seconds about any topic. Encourage them to use names, dates, places, and facts.

Germany Exam

Rise of the Nazi

Changing Life

War in Germany

These pages contain a list of questions for each topic within the Germany exam. Use them to test your child’s knowledge.

Like the Germany quizzes, your son/daughter should be able to answer all of these questions confidently before June.

Both of these documents offer examples from past exam papers that are worth attempting. They may come up in the real exam!
